Awesome as Usual JJ. Don't like weeds. This is the first year in History for our lake to have Hydrilla. Stringy 10' long strands. I've got to flip the board upside down and swim to deep enough water to launch. One strand on the stab, and you ain't foiling. Hit a patch in the middle of the lake that broke loose from the shoreline. Instant face plant at speed suuucks.

Yeah we have that problem here. Sometimes there are weedbergs about 6-8' across and you MUST avoid them. Haven't smacked into one yet but I've hit smaller strands. Sometimes the foil blows through them. Sometimes they have a hanger-on that bubbles and gurgles until it falls off. Sometimes they cause me to lose control and eat it...

And if you're lucky the sun is at an angle that isn't blinding and you can actually see them.

It's cool to see that you use the far rear half strap when carving. Nice work

Sweet As! Thanks JJ! We get dead marsh grass after big high tides, I sail backwards (in low mode) to clear it.
